The beginning has the required quick course on how to read written music and a few beginners notes about theory. There are plenty of examples to show how each progression has been used in popular tunes. The booklets compact size makes it easy to carry around and simple to keep open and lay flat on a music stand. This is an excellent guide for anyone starting out to learn the chording part of songwriting.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

I came up with a new song the first time I used it. Hopefully there are more to come as I slowly work my way through it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. wouldnt recommend for kindleBy Richard Albeckwouldnt recommend for kindle. The electronic format is hard to page through on kindle or phone devices. Text is spread over several page to where its hard to determine which page you are even looking at.
